'Jury Duty' Editor Arrested for Child Endangerment No Longer Tied to Amazon

A prominent Hollywood editor is getting the cold shoulder, professionally, due to his recent arrest for child endangerment and despite speculation he'll continue working on a big time Amazon Prime show ... TMZ can confirm he's out. Thirty nine year old Christopher Charkowski was arrested in L.A.

County last week on a felony charge of willful cruelty to a child causing possible possible injury or death and a video is circulating online allegedly showing him brutalizing a kid inside of a house. Law enforcement sources tell us this clip home surveillance footage that's been making the rounds on social media has been submitted to authorities as part of their investigation of the case.

Court records list the date of the alleged offense as June 2022. The case was filed back in November, but Charkowski wasn't hauled in and booked by law enforcement until Jan. 4. What's depicted in this video is disturbing, to say the least, and could be a key piece of evidence as this case proceeds.

In the clip, you see a man losing his mind and going after what appears to be a little boy. You can see him putting his hands on the kid, throttling him and possibly even throwing some punches. It's unclear what the relation might be between the adult and child here, but on its face, it appears law enforcement had enough reason to believe it's Charkowski in the video.

BTW, he's been released on bail and future court dates are scheduled. Now, as far as who Charkowski is in showbiz ... he's worked in post production for a lot of big TV shows. Most recently, he edited video for "Jury Duty," which was the talk of the town last year, and was even nominated at last weekend's Golden Globes.

Charkowski is listed as part of the editorial department for that series and after this video got out, people have been clamoring for Amazon to drop him ASAP. Welp, a source with direct knowledge tells TMZ that Charkowski is no longer affiliated with the studio. We're told his role on "Jury Duty" which spanned 8 episodes came and went once they wrapped production nearly a year ago, and our sources say he was an outside contractor on the show, not a permanent employee of Amazon/Freevee.

Since then, our sources say he hasn't been employed at Amazon whatsoever and safe to say ... he won't be back. Another show he's worked on for a long time is Bravo's "Below Deck Mediterranean," but a production source points out to TMZ .... he hasn't been with them for about 2 years now.

We reached out to Chris ... he had no comment..
